The present invention relates generally to control surfaces for undersea vehicles. More particularly, this invention relates to control surfaces stowed in an annular intake recess on a vehicle and deployed outwardly to create large control surfaces. Elongate underwater vehicles, such as torpedoes are being used by many navies for offensive and defensive purposes. They are efficiently engineered to be compact, yet be able to carry heavy loads of ordinance or instrumentation packages over considerable distances. A need has been recognized in the state of the art for improved control surfaces for an integrated motor propulsors (IMF) that do not interfere with inflow and outflow. allow launch from contemporary tube diameters, and do not rely on compliant systems.
